What character is this from Jules? Fail Octopus? Fail Cuttlefish? That thing from Alien? (and why can't I use images in X polls....?)

Got a chance to try Aider with gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 this weekend - very impressed! This is the first time I've been able to use Gemini models successfully to vibe-code a project from scratch (with some help from grok as PM). Kudos to the Google team. Need. More. Quota. :-)

This has to be one of the best blogs that I have read on model context protocol (MCP) by @swyx @latentspacepod

🎉 Big milestone alert! 📷Our Hughes Hallucination Detection Model (HHEM) just hit 2 MILLION downloads on @huggingface! Launched last Nov, we hit 1M downloads 3 weeks ago, and now we hit 2M downloads. This recent acceleration is a clear leading indicator that the #RAG AI Assistants/Agents market is maturing and moving into more production use cases where accuracy is paramount. Thank you to our amazing community for making this possible! 📷https://t.co/MiF6jh8U5v 📷 #NLP #HallucinationDetection #MachineLearning #RAG

@ofermend @vectara Congratulations @ofermend , @awadallah and the @vectara team! I'm excited to give Mockingbird a try - the details look amazing! https://t.co/wqpmdrXTzu

Please consider providing model access through @ollama - it's my main consumption route these days for testing out LLMs.

[Vectara @vectara]

With this funding, we're launching Mockingbird, a groundbreaking LLM for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (#RAG). Perfect for healthcare, law, and banking with unparalleled accuracy & performance. Join us as we revolutionize #AI for regulated industries!

@simonw @vijayabhaskarj I realize it's not a "solution" - but have you considered/tried prompt compression? eg https://t.co/sE9B1epRE1

[Patrick Hunt @phunt]

I've got a secret to tell you...

Your boss is tired of being your manager.

They want you to manage them.

I recently changed role at Slack, to focus on the HHVM runtime that executes so much of our product code.

This is the first time I’ve worked primarily on a compiler and VM, so had to get myself up to speed. Here are some fantastic resources that have helped me do so *quickly*.

[Patrick Hunt @phunt]

Well deserved!

[fpj @fpjunqueira]

10 years later, I’m very proud of what we accomplished. I’m happy and humbled to receive this award alongside my co-authors Ben and Marco. Thanks @DsnIeee.

[Mark Grover @mark_grover]

Excited to announce Stemma's launch today. It's been 3 years since Lyft's data catalog - Amundsen was born. It's enabled Lyft and many others like Instacart, Square & Brex to be more effective at data-driven decision making. We are excited to bring the same to the broader market.
